Peritoneal Access in Children Receiving Dialysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Pediatric Dialysis

Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the initial dialytic modality for many children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This is especially true for children who have acquired ESRD during their first decade of life [1]. Data from the North American Pediatric Renal Trials and Collaborative Studies (NAPRTCS) reveals that of the 6,491 dialysis initiations entered into the dialysis registry between 1992 and 2008, more than 60% were for PD [2]. Reasons for the preferential selection of PD in children have included its ability to greatly reduce the need for dietary restrictions, its simplicity of operation, the lack of a need for routine blood access, and the ability of the child to attend school on a regular basis.
